As a professional weaver, I'm in a constant state of changing what's on the loom: planning a project, dyeing yarn for the project, warping the loom with that new yarn, weaving, finishing, and so on. Blogging is a way for me to share the process, and a way for me to keep track of what I did when.

Red!
The next towel (number 13 on the current warp, if my count is correct) is draft #36743 from handweaving.net, using the newly dyed red weft. Here it is in draft form, and on the loom shown from the side I see while weaving, and the "other" side:
The tilted squares drafts are among my favorites, and they adapt to many different numbers of shafts. Your interpretation looks really smashing in red!
Every time I look at the variety of the towels threaded with a straight draw I'm jealous of your 24 shafts all over again. And yet....there are soooooo many 8-shaft patterns I haven't yet begun to explore.
